Reccommended parameters to use for a better reporting and fraud screening:

• Offer
• Publisher
• Subid
• Conversion IP
• User Agent
• Device ID (for mobile offers only)
• Browser Languages (important for Bot screening)
• External Transactin ID (optional but useful to identify the conversion in the reports by the clickid value)

Integration settings

• Active: Decide whether the integration should be active or inactive. When inactive all clicks will be blocked and conversions won't be imported.
• Block Rejected Clicks: when this option is on, the rejected clicks will be blocked and not redirected to a Fallback Url. Switch this off if you want rejected users to be redirected to a fallback URL instead
• Activate IP Privacy: When enabled IP Addresses will be obfuscated in reports and exports.

Recommandation: Third Party Rejection Endpoint

The platform can sync with a 3rd party rejection platform/advertiser by using the provided endpoint.
Open a link setup, scroll down to Advanced Settings section and copy the Endpoint to be implemented on your 3rd Party Provider.
Important: the External_Transaction_ID and Rejected_Reason are mandatory.
